The hastag symbol is technically called an octothorpe.

According to the You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now., the "octo-" prefix refers to the eight points on the popular symbol, but the "thorpe" remains a mystery. One theory claims that it comes from the Old English word for "village," based on the idea that the symbol looks like a village surrounded by eight fields!
